Canadian's mourn the Harper conservative's silencing of women's equality

The Harper Conservatives commitment togoverning all Canadians - irrespective of gender -is questionable at best.

"For women in Canada the sting of the Federal government abandoning itscommitment to equality is razor sharp. It is not only about abandoning fundingto the Status of Women program, it is about the utter lack of commitment tothe principal of equality," said Paul Moist, president of Canada's largestunion the Canadian Union of Public Employees. CUPE represents over half amillion Canadians - that is 1 in 60 working Canadians is a member of CUPE.
